SPIRITS - Eposode #34
The SGC and N.I.D. have plans to mine a planet, whose population includes a tribe of Indians and the "spirits" that watch over them. When the "spirits" find out what the SGC has planned, they try to take it over in order to protect their planet, and it's inhabitants.
NOTES OF INTEREST:
- The mission to PXY-887 marks Captain Carter's first command.
- Trinium was discovered on PXY-887 by Captain Conner and SG-11. Though brittle in its raw state, trinium is 100 times lighter and stronger than steel, and a valuable resource. The arrowhead, and many other Salish artifacts on the planet, were made of pure forged trinium. The Salish call the trinium "ke".
- The totem pole is a clan crest, similar in style to the Salish Indians, and tells the story of their origin. They were brought from a distant planet by evil rulers, probably Jaffa taking them from Earth. The Goa'uld on the planet were destroyed by Xe'ls, the Salish's main spirit, traditionally represented by a raven. T'akaya, another important spirit, is represented by a wolf. When the spirits removed the Goa'uld from the planet, they adapted their form to those of the Salish spirits in order to protect and coexist with them in harmony without interfering in their natural evolution.
- The spirits are able to adapt their form to change their appearance, and to change the form of others to make them disappear.
Injuries:
- O'Neill: shot through the upper right arm by an arrow
- Carter, Jackson, and Teal'c: shot by Salish darts, drugged and unconscious
